I love the grape tomatos, don't like cherry ones:)

Burpee Sweet 100's. Start only one or two plants. My last plant was over 8 ft tall and 6ft wide; I had it tied to the chain link fence. The family of 4 and our family of four had a hard time keeping up with eating them. They got to keep and eat any tomatoes on their side of the fence. We got cucumbers in return. :)

Sweet 100's....bite sized and just like putting a piece of candy into your mouth...they are addicting!

I like the early girls because of the acidity and they usually make a hearty crop.

Heirloom tomatoes definitely taste better to me! I also love the Ox Heart variety...we order from Baker Creek Seed Company, http://rareseeds.com/

I'm still trying to figure out the best, I can tell you that I DIDN'T like "Italian Ice" last year - very little flavor. I always plant yellow pear and sweet 100. Still learning what I can't live without as far as large ones;)

I alwasy plant Better Boy...it is my main crop tomato. I also like one called Brandy Boy, which is a hybrid of Brandywine (it has great heirloom flavor, but more disease resistant)
Cherry tomatoes..I like sungold or suncherry and sweet million...they both do super and hold well on the plant and disease and crack resistant....plus very sweet, which I tend to like.

Here in So. Cal. we plant the "Early Girl". They are good tasting and get rather large. Believe it or not we have tomatoes on the vine right now, but they are not as large as they can get. Did pick some for Christmas dinner. One plane it really growing but no blossoms yet.
We have them planted in whiskey barells on the south side of the house. Haven't had freezing temperature yet and lots of sun so I think the tomatoe plans are confussed as to what season it is.

Love, love, love the purple tomatoes. Most specifically the Purple Cherokee. They have a smoky kind of flavor. Yum!

I always plant Early Girls. They have a wonderful flavor and they not only fruit early, but continue to fruit the whole growing season. I also try several others that are available and have found some I like (Celebrities did well last year), but Early Girls are my only mainstay. I also plant 1 or 2 Sweet 100's, which is plenty! I always get carried away with planting tomatoes and usually have around 30 - 40 plants each year. I can tomatoes, tomatoes and okra and homemade soup, eat a many as I can and give the rest away.
